On this Dell Latitude D610 with Lucid Puppy 5.28-005, I can't play video, such as at 6abc.com; I see a gray circle with a right-pointing triangle, click on that, and see blackness where it was.
(Oh - that seems to be a link titled "Please click to download and activate plug-in"??)

Where did you get Opera?_________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected

Now I need to gradually and carefully restore some of the settings from my old save file.

Is there a better way to do all this?

What settings?

A few things about save files and installing programs.
Make save file and be using it before installing added programs.
Give save file some size.
(To install a program, it temporarily uses about 3 times the space it will occupy after install)_________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Opera bookmarks, Sylpheed folders, swap and other startup stuff, sysinit and shutdown, and so on.

Never really tried this, but it may work.
Run Lucid Puppy 528 using the new save file.
Click on file icon on desktop.
Window will open showing file system. (the present system operating)
Click on file icon again to open second window.
Now with two open Rox windows.
In second window.
Find the old save file.
Left click on the old save file and it should mount with a Rox window showing contents.
(This may be all you need to use built in file transfer, some of the programs may have).
Find the old files or directories you need and drag and drop to first window (the present system operating).

However, with a possible bad or corrupted save file, you have no way of knowing what is good and what is bad._________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Yes, bigpup; I did a little copying, but as you said, I'd better be careful.
